On my NUC I have both 10.13 and 10.14 Beta on two separate disks:
1. Mojave Beta 5 on Kingston SH103S3120G
2. High Sierra 10.13.5 on Crucial CT256M550SSD3
Both disks use APFS. My other hardware is presented in my profile.
Clover is on High Sierra disk. Both OSs are sharing exactly the same Clover settings. With such configuration I was able to compare 10.13 and 10.4 on almost consistent basis.
Recently, I have enabled TRIM in Clover Kernel & Kexts Patches, which affects both installs. Both OSes have shown no advantages of the use of TRIM. However, the boot time of Mojave has significantly increased with TRIM enabled.
To investigate this performance detorriation I have removed TRIM Enabler from Clover and have used terminal command ’sudo trimforce enable’ . The result was the same: the boot time of Mojave has significantly increased with TRIM enabled, regardless whether it was enabled from either Clover or terminal. This indicates that Mojave Beta itself causes this boot delay. Furthermore, I wanted to allocate where exactly the delay comes from.
In verbose mode I have learned that the delay originates from spaceman_trim_free_blocks scans lasting total 21.3 seconds.This indicates that there might be a bug in Mojave Beta TRIM code.
I have disabled TRIM as an unnecessary complication, at least on my disks. Well, except the argument that TRIM is allegedly more gentle with disks. But I’m sure they will serve me well before I decide to purchase new disks.
This post isn’t intended as a request for help, just my humble observation.
